Chapter 202
Yan Hai advanced in the darkness, half his body dully aching .
The impact from that collision earlier had nearly caused his whole body to fall apart . Quite a few bones were broken . If not for his strong recovery ability, he would still be confined to his bed, paralyzed .
His blood spiritual force was still shallow but his recovery ability already exceeded that of others . Thinking about the mystical skills set his heart on fire . If he could establish enough contributions, he could possess those mystical skills .
He must have that blood crystal .
Tonight was his last chance . There was a mission the next day and everyone within the city had to battle, him included . Plus, his disguise was still useful for him .
He did not enter upon arriving at the alleyway of Vanguard Training Hall . The accident from earlier had taught him that he couldn’t afford to make the least bit of a mistake . The A-1 unit’s strength exceeded his imagination . He couldn’t defeat any one of them .
He needed the blood crystal, not a battle .
There were many ways to gain possession of the blood crystals, and battling was just one of them .
He took out a small flag; its face was badly damaged and its pole was left with only half a bone . On its face was a little demon painted with cinnabar . This was an object he had gotten hold of unintentionally while training . He had not known what it was initially, but after much researching and consulting of friends with related experience, he found out that this small flag was actually a spirit-beckoning banner .
During the Cultivation Era, the spirit-beckoning banner was the most common treasure within the blood sects . It was generally used to train spirits, blood demons, and the like .
It could develop a certain connection with the blood spiritual force within his body .
As time passed, the spirit-beckoning banner became dilapidated . To Yan Hai, however, it was still an outstanding treasure . It was also because of this that he realized the artifact remnants from the Cultivation Era were of use to him . Later on, he committedly searched every place that collected artifact remnants, but failed to find anything else he could use .
He took out a small knife and slit his own arm, making a shocking cut .
Fresh blood dripped on the banner in a steady flow and disappeared upon contact with it . The little cinnabar demon on the flag then started to look more tender, beautiful, and alluring .
Following the unceasing blood flow, Yan Hai’s face turned rather pale .
Suddenly, a red blood mist rose from the spirit-beckoning banner and amidst it, a faint and blurry little demon could be seen .
Joy spread across Yan Hai’s pale face . He sat cross-legged on the ground and shut his eyes .
The silhouette of the little demon gradually faded and disappeared .
This was his biggest card and also where his confidence lay tonight . Able to conceal itself, the little demon was more than suitable for theft . If he could get the blood crystal, this amount of fresh blood sacrifice wasn’t even worth mentioning .
The little demon’s field of vision was gray, ice-cold, and still . Yan Hai was adept in controlling it since it wasn’t his first time .
It drifted over the wall . Yan Hai saw everyone standing in a circle with Ai Hui in the center . He could see clearly as he was looking from above .
He felt slightly puzzled . What were these fellows doing?
He scanned the surroundings but did not see the blood crystal . To the little demon, the blood crystal was of great benefit . It was like a torchlight in the dark, very conspicuous .
Then, all of a sudden, a wave of intense motion burst out from Ai Hui’s body .
Not good! Had he been discovered?
Yan Hai’s heart started beating faster, but he tried hard to remain calm . That shouldn’t be the case . The little demon beckoned by the banner had no elemental energy motion . It was impossible for even the dean of Central Pine Academy to detect its presence .
He reckoned Ai Hui was about to test a skill or something .
Yan Hai became more focused . Ai Hui hadn’t displayed any moves since the start of the day, so he was also very curious about Ai Hui’s abilities .
Ai Hui was very excited .
He did not expect the blood crystal to be able to activate the artifact remnants on the Dragonspine Inferno . The artifact remnants would cease to be . If the blood crystals could stimulate certain treasures, then the remnants left in the Silver Mist Sea which had once been considered trash would become much more valuable . Their prices would also increase exponentially .
It was a pity he had no money to start a business . Or? He could contact his master and mistress and perhaps earn more money at the embroidery workshop . Then again, he quickly started laughing involuntarily . He might not even survive this calamity, so why was he thinking about earning money?
He should further develop his Dragonspine Inferno instead . As its power increased, his chances of survival increased as well . Plus, it could be seen that the Dragonspine Inferno was still far from reaching its limit . That meant that he needed more blood crystals, since the sword had more potential to improve .
Ai Hui collected his thoughts .
He was already fairly familiar with [Crescent Moon] . Using [Big Dipper] to operate it was the challenge .
The seven palaces within his body vibrated simultaneously and out of them flowed seven rays of elemental energy . Ai Hui prepared to converge them .
Just then, without any sign, the sword embryo between his brows suddenly jolted .
An indescribable feeling overtook Ai Hui’s body . Cold . From head to toe, he felt a sense of coldness . His joy and excitement vanished as he became immersed in this unprecedented, cool state .
Feeling something, Ai Hui turned his neck and walked towards the perimeter wall .
There was clearly nothing, but he "saw" a mist-like presence .
He didn’t know what it was and could only feel its enmity .
The elemental energy circulating within his body became even fuller and richer . Before, Ai Hui had needed to multitask in order to control it, but now, everything went on naturally and smoothly .
